Vintage Month is on - a challenge set by @Tony'schin

My plan for this is to use each of my vintage razors and use vintage blades where possible. The razors I'll be using are:
  • 30s Gillette Old Type
  • Gillette New LC
  • 40s Gillette Tech
  • 1958 Gillette Superspeed Flare Tip
  • 1960 Gillette Fatboy
  • 1967 Gillette Slim
  • 1967 Gillette Aristocrat Slim
  • 1978 Gillette SA Black Beauty
  • Ever Ready 1912
  • Schick Type E
  • Schick Type L
  • Schick Type M Adjustable
NB: I no longer have the Rolls Razor.

Depending on the definition of 'vintage' I reckon a fair few, here, could do several (different) vintage shaves from start to finish - brush, soap, razor, blade and aftershave. I don't shave as often as I did, given the pandemic work from home, but I'll risk the cut-off and also include some venerable cartridge razors and their vintage blades :)

I agree with the vintage blades - that's just my own bit I'm putting in there.

Haha! Good lad!

You still need a grot through your Mrs' nail varnishes for the right shade to just touch in the old hinge cover.
